al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah who Allah Allah, He will be one what I'm about before we move on to the next Surah Surah Al Baqarah itself. As we said our series are going to be both power bowls and aphorisms or beautiful phrases that have become common to be used in the Arabic language. So there are a number of such phrases and of course there are more than we can do in this series, but I wanted to highlight a few of them. So today we're going to do verse 44, of sorbitol, Baccarat, and in it Allah subhana wa tada asks a very powerful rhetorical question that should be in the minds of every single one of us. Allah says the addressees or the bunny is three the children of

Israel. Allah says attack moron and NASA bill battery weapon Sona and forsaken? Do you take it upon yourselves to command other people with piety and you neglect and forget your own selves? This phrase has become common as is used in vernacular in the common Arabic vernacular. And it is meant to showcase the hypocrisy, the showcase the hypocrisy of those who concentrate on the faults of others, when they neglect their own faults. Allah asks a rhetorical question, does it make any sense that here you are obon is ill, and you are telling everybody else to do things, and you forget to command your own cells to do this. In reality, the way of the prophets is that their actions speak

louder than their words, the way of the prophets of Allah is that they are who do they are themselves role models, they don't even need to say anything. Their actions themselves are role models for all of mankind. And that's why our Prophet salallahu idea he was setting them was told by Allah in Nicola Allah, Hello Can Adam your o'clock are the best and Allah subhana wa tada says, You have in the prophets of Allah, Who are they he was sending him a good virtue and has sent a noble role model to follow. So the prophets of Allah and those who want to walk in the path of the prophets, they have to make sure that their actions speak louder than their words. And the opposite

of this is what Allah criticizes these people of the bunny is that their actions are nothing and all they do is talk unto others. Allah azza wa jal also criticizes in another surah the second concept and sort of Joseph Allah subhana wa tada says, Yeah, you already know amanu limits, Hakuna Matata, falloon kaaboo, Rama, cotton and Allah He unto automata tough out on oh you who believe? Why do you say that which you do not do? It is indeed a Magna It is indeed a large crime in the eyes of Allah that you say that which you do not do? And the Prophet sure if says to his people, woman, what do you do on hollyford, Camila and ha, come on, I don't myself want to do something that I'm telling

you not to do. I'm not gonna do something and then I'm telling you not to do it as well. My actions and my speech have to be in conformity together. This also shows us one of the fundamental principles of our Islam and our religion. And that is we concentrate on ourselves and our faults more than the faults of other people. It is a disease that our prophets or some warned about, that we emphasize and concentrate on the faults of others, anybody who makes it a priority to talk about other people and neglect himself. This is what the verse is talking about. And our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said it was authentic. He said, Oh, those of you who have outwardly

accepted Islam, and the man is not in your hearts, be careful, and do not speak ill of the Muslims, nor follow the mistakes of the Muslims. Were not the typical rotten Muslim men do not go and follow their mistakes. For whoever follows the mistakes of his brothers, Allah subhanho wa Taala will follow his mistakes, and Allah will humiliate him even if he is in the privacy of his house. This is a severe warning. And the reason for this is that when you follow the mistakes of others shape on causes you to think you are better than them. And that's not our religion of Islam. Our Prophet systems that Hadith is intuitively the cry over your own mistakes. Well, yep, chaotic cry over your

own mistakes. Don't worry about the mistakes of your brother as a priority. The priority is you yourself. The priority for me is me. I need to think of myself and this is the point of this verse. However, before we finish today, we also have to point out the opposite extreme and the opposite extreme is the notion that because I'm not perfect, I should not speak about anything to anybody, and I should not advise anybody to do good. You see the Quran.

explicitly says the reason why we are the best nation is why, what is the reason quantum higher on methodology is why tap more una bella roofie were 10 hoonah and in moon curry were to me noona Billa. We combine everything we command the good, we forbid the evil. And we believe in Allah internally and externally. let nobody take this verse, which is verse 44 of suitors, Bukhara, as an excuse to say, Hey, I'm not perfect. I'm not going to speak out against anything, say who made the main student of Eman? abass sorry, Dave intubated famously remarked, if it was a requirement to be perfect before you advise others than everybody would have to be quiet because nobody is perfect.

You see, the Quran doesn't say you have to be perfect before you preach. The Quran says don't neglect Don't forget yourself. As long as you're not forgetting yourself your conscience, you know that I have to improve and you also want to make other people improve. You see, this is very clear called omniverse. What 10 Sona and fusa. Comb, you forget about yourself, that is the sin that is the problem, as long as you are concentrating on yourself, and also concentrating on others. That is the religion of Islam. Nobody is perfect. Do you think I am perfect, and I'm standing in front of you and telling you to do other things. It's impossible. If we had to reach perfection, then only

the prophets could preach, and everybody would have to be quiet. That's not what Islam requires. And especially dear parents and dear elders of the community, you are responsible for those in your charge, even if you're not perfect. Even if you're committing sins, you still have to try your best that those that look up to you do not commit sins. So the two are different things. You work on yourself. Yes, you always work on yourself. But the fact that you're still working on yourself, you're a work in progress should not stop you from trying to work on other people as well. The to go hand in hand, and it's a constant struggle. And the goal is that internally you never feel arrogant

that I have reached perfection. That's what Allah criticizes the bunnies, right? This is the point the bunny is Ryan said, We are a save people, we're going to go to heaven. God is the We are the chosen people. And then they started criticizing everybody else. That is a crime. But as long as you're working on yourself, you know you're sinful, you're striving to achieve perfection, then you will you must you are obligated to try your best to impact those in your immediate circle and to be as much of a role model for them. So be careful of both of these extremes. The first extreme the criticism of the verse, to feel arrogant to feel saved and to criticize everybody else. And then the

opposite extreme which people misunderstand is the notion that until I become perfect, I should not correct other people know you try to become perfect and you also try to be good role models to others. That is the religion of Islam. May Allah subhana wa tada make use of that oma tawassul Dinesh Allah will continue tomorrow send American
